Chapter 1358: Not Aggrieved for Losing / Think AgainTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“…” Yang Ming was speechless. “Why? You want me to marry that b.u.t.terfly Family’s Miss?”
“I’m afraid you will regret it later, and you will regret it for a lifetime.” Fang Tian shrugged and said, “Just like me.”
“…” Yang Ming was speechless again. “No, I definitely don’t. You have a relations.h.i.+p foundation, but I don’t.”
Fang Tian glanced at Yang Ming with an indescribable meaning. “Okay, this is your decision. I tell you that there are no regrets about this. You have to think clearly. Others don’t even have the chance to pursue the b.u.t.terfly Family’s Miss. Now that you have a chance, don’t you want to go for it?”
“Did Uncle w.a.n.g ask you to lobby me?” Yang Ming frowned. “Are you thinking that you owe Senior w.a.n.g Ruoshui, so you let me marry the w.a.n.g Family’s Miss to make up for it?”
“Ahem—” Fang Tian forced a laugh without speaking.
Yang Ming was too lazy to bother with him, so he shrugged and left Fang Tian’s room. He returned to his room and planned to rest for a while.
Xu Xiaobin hated Liu Jifei to his guts. He didn’t even like Liu Jifei’s att.i.tude toward the Ming Yang Security Company contract. The last person in charge was Xu Xiaobin. If the contract were enforced under the current terms, the newly formed bank escort company wouldn’t get very far. It would crumble soon after its establishment.
Under this unequal cooperation relations.h.i.+p, Ming Yang wouldn’t run the company wholeheartedly. It was already good for them not to deliberately neglect and do dirty tricks; they couldn’t be expected to do things honestly and sincerely.
The so-called cooperation was based on the mutual benefit of both parties. It wasn’t a partners.h.i.+p when only one party got the benefits; that was called an unequal treaty. No one was willing to implement fully the contract under this treaty. The Ming Yang Security Company was no exception.
Therefore, Liu Jifei’s approach was basically harming Xu Xiaobin. Li Jifei had achieved results, but he just left Xu Xiaobin to clean up the mess. This was an act of an *sshole. When the company closed down because it wasn’t doing well, Xu Xiaobin would be blamed. It didn’t relate to Liu Jifei.
So Xu Xiaobin got angrier. He thought Liu Jifei was here to help him. Now it’s great; he threw the helve after the hatchet! Of course, Xu Xiaobin would not sit still. This matter had nothing to do with him initially. Why should he keep a secret for Liu Jifei? He picked up the phone and dialed Jing Xiaolu’s number. “Vice President Jing, this is Xu Xiaobin.”
“President Xu, how’s it going?” Jing Xiaolu had been anxiously waiting for Xu Xiaobin’s phone call.
“Vice President Jing, I have figured things out. Liu Jifei did it. Where are you now? I’ll come to you and tell you the truth of the matter.” Xu Xiaobin hated Liu Jifei immensely. If he didn’t use petty tricks to push down w.a.n.g Lixia, maybe Xu Xiaobin would help him to conceal it. After all, this involved the overall interests of the Liu Family. If he told the truth to Jing Xiaolu, he would be suspected of a.s.sisting an outsider.
But now, there was a split between Xu Xiaobin and Liu Jifei, and it was irreparable! Just after Xu Xiaobin saw Liu Jifei doing that kind of thing to w.a.n.g Lixia, there was a rift between Xu Xiaobin and Liu Jifei. He would never let Liu Jifei have a good life.
“I’m still at the Huihai Business Club. You found the truth of the matter so quickly?” Jing Xiaolu was a little suspicious. This Xu Xiaobin had just returned for around half an hour. How did he find the truth so quickly? Is he fooling me?
“Yes, let’s meet and talk,” said Xu Xiaobin affirmatively. “I’ll go over there now.”
“Okay, then you come over …” Although Jing Xiaolu didn’t quite believe it, when she saw that Xu Xiaobin made a vow, she believed it. Most importantly, there was no choice but to trust Xu Xiaobin now.
Things had developed in this way. She could only get the truth from Xu Xiaobin. Now, the only hope was that Xu Xiaobin was not in the same group as Liu Jifei. In this way, it was possible to reverse the situation. Otherwise, she was really at her wit’s end.
For a long time, Jing Xiaolu wanted to make some achievements and show her ability to be independent in front of Yang Ming. She wanted to be a supporter of Yang Ming, a person who was useful to Yang Ming’s career. When Yang Ming gradually couldn’t live without her, they would naturally be together. However, her first business deal was messed up now. Jing Xiaolu was even determined to die. Why was I so stupid? How can I fall into a trap in the contract? I’m really no different from a fool.
This time, Xu Xiaobin came quickly. He was going full throttle all the way with the hatred of Liu Jifei in his heart. Unsure how many red lights he drove through, he finally arrived at the Huihai Business Club in twenty minutes.
He quickly walked to Jing Xiaolu’s table, and then Xu Xiaobin sat down with a gloomy face. He didn’t beat around the bush; he said directly, “Vice President Jing, all this was done by this b*stard, Liu Jifei.
“En?” Jing Xiaolu was shocked when she heard Xu Xiaobin mentioned Liu Jifei. Aren’t both of them a group? Even if Liu Jifei did all this without telling him, he did this for the benefit of their Jiangyan Group. Why is Xu Xiaobin cursing him as a b*stard?
Xu Xiaobin saw Jing Xiaolu’s expression, and his face was slightly red. “I have some personal grievances with Liu Jifei. I’m sorry for overreacting.”
Jing Xiaolu raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Xu Xiaobin to have a grievance with Liu Jifei suddenly. However, it was Xu Xiaobin’s private matter. Jing Xiaolu couldn’t ask since Xu Xiaobin didn’t say it. She nodded and said, “I have already guessed that it was him, but how did he do it?”
“Incense! A special incense he used!” Xu Xiaobin was so hateful that he gritted his teeth as he mentioned the incense. If it weren’t because of this bullsh*t thing, how would Liu Jifei rape w.a.n.g Lixia for nothing?
“Incense?” Jing Xiaolu frowned slightly; she seemed to have thought of something. Indeed, in the signing conference room, there were several lit incense burners. Jing Xiaolu did not bother about it at first, thinking that it was for the elegance of the contract signing venue, but now, she couldn’t help but be lost in thought when Xu Xiaobin mentioned it.
“Yes.” Xu Xiaobin said, “Liu Jifei knew a Thai boss who obtained it from the hands of a shaman in India. When it is lit, it can have a psychedelic effect on people.”
“You mean, because of the effect of this incense, w.a.n.g Hongcha and I both had hallucinations and just signed the contract in a daze?” Jing Xiaolu didn’t quite believe it.
“Yes.” Xu Xiaobin nodded. “I can confirm that the contract that Liu Luyou gave you before was the real contract, and there should be no problems. When you and w.a.n.g Hongcha looked at the contract, you paid special attention to some of the key details. Am I right?”
Jing Xiaolu nodded. “You’re right. We naturally had to be careful about the few key details in the contract.”
“So, you and w.a.n.g Hongcha had particularly deep impressions about these details,” said Xu Xiaobin. “After Liu Luyou replaced the contract, you also became skeptical. When you carried out a second review of the contract, you only focused on those previous important details.”
Jing Xiaolu nodded and gestured for Xu Xiaobin to continue.
“This is the role of the incense. The details you see are not fed back to the brain through the retinal nerve under the effect of incense. Your brain has hallucinations under the effect of the incense. What you saw was actually something you remembered before. Therefore, no matter what you saw on the contract, the feedback data in the brain is still the previous ones, so you and w.a.n.g Hongcha fell right into a trap without knowing,” Xu Xiaobin explained.
“So, that’s the case.” Jing Xiaolu’s face had changed. This is the first time she heard about this method. This kind of situation had not happened before in the history of contract fraud! It could be said that this was simply impossible to prevent. If you were not careful, you would fall right into the trap.
I admit that I didn’t feel aggrieved for losing this time! It’s not that I’m incapable, but the opponent is too sinister. He actually used such a lowlife method to achieve his objective.
“That’s about it,” said Xu Xiaobin.
“How do you know this in detail?” After Jing Xiaolu calmed down, she also doubted Xu Xiaobin’s words a little. Why did he tell me this? He is on the same team with Liu Jifei, right!?
Chapter 1372: Think Again
“Since you didn’t know it beforehand, one can say that Liu Jifei didn’t tell you what he did; he didn’t want to tell you. But, in a short amount of time, you actually figured out the truth. Can you explain why?” Jing Xiaolu waited for Xu Xiaobin to answer before continuing to ask.
Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly. He knew that Jing Xiaolu would not believe him so easily because he didn’t know anything about an hour ago. However, after an hour, he learned the truth of the matter. No one would believe in this speed!
Moreover, Jing Xiaolu was not wrong. Liu Jifei deliberately concealed this matter from Xu Xiaobin, so how did he know the truth? Now at this stage, Xu Xiaobin had to tell the truth. Since he wanted revenge, he couldn’t rely on his own strength; he could only pin his hope on Jing Xiaolu.
Anyway, Ming Yang had a strong influence and background in Song Jiang. As for whether it could compete with the Jiangyan Group, Xu Xiaobin was not clear. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was still good.
“I guessed all these,” Xu Xiaobin said with a bitter smile.
“Guess?” Jing Xiaolu’s eyes widened. “You guessed it? How did you guess it?”
“Because Liu Jifei also used the same trick on my girlfriend…” Xu Xiaobin gritted his teeth and spoke of his inner pain.
“What do you mean by using the same trick on your girlfriend?” Jing Xiaolu didn’t understand; no one could understand that.
“Now, at this stage, I won’t hide from you. Vice President Jing, please don’t laugh at me after I tell you.” Xu Xiaobin’s expression became the look of pain and anger.
“President Xu, please tell me. I will not laugh at you.” Jing Xiaolu felt that since this Xu Xiaobin sat here for the second time today, she felt something unusual. Regardless of his expression or his words, there was something weird about it.
“Today, I was thrilled after signing the contract. To be honest, if our cooperation starts smoothly, I can at least take the position of CEO of the Song Jiang branch company of the Jiangyan Group.” Since Xu Xiaobin decided to say it, he no longer had any worries. “After going back, my girlfriend, w.a.n.g Lixia, and I were very happy, so naturally, we went to bed… you should know what happened next…”
Jing Xiaolu often heard Ge Xinyao say something indecent. Now that she heard a man speak of these things, she couldn’t help but blush. She thought, I have never done it. How do I know what happens next?
However, this time was not the time to tangle with these details. Jing Xiaolu nodded slightly, waiting for Xu Xiaobin to continue.
“As a result, I received your phone call halfway through the process.” Xu Xiaobin sighed. “You said that there was a problem with the contract. I was shocked at the moment; I couldn’t bother about anything else, so I hurried here quickly… ”
“How is that related to Liu Jifei?” Jing Xiaolu hadn’t heard anything about Liu Jifei so far, but she could tell from Xu Xiaobin’s words that he was displeased with her messing his good moment.
“Liu Jifei took the opportunity to sneak into my office and light the incense after I left…” Xu Xiaobin’s face became extremely ugly at the moment. “Previously, when I made love halfway through with w.a.n.g Lixia, she naturally hoped that I would return soon. Therefore, she thought Liu Jifei was me, and she made love with him after he lit the incense… When I went back, they had just finished, and w.a.n.g Lixia also realized something was wrong. She questioned Liu Jifei. Liu Jifei told her about the incense effect to convince w.a.n.g Lixia to be his mistress, and I happened to be standing at the door… ”
Although Xu Xiaobin omitted the details in the middle, he had explained the critical points. Jing Xiaolu was astounded; she didn’t expect there was such an event in the middle!
At this moment, she also understood why Xu Xiaobin’s expression looked so ugly and why he didn’t hesitate to tell her the truth. It seemed that Xu Xiaobin hated Liu Jifei. He couldn’t wait to see Liu Jifei screw up. Xu Xiaobin wanted to use Jing Xiaolu to help him get revenge on Liu Jifei.
“So that’s why… I’m sorry to force you to speak of the pain in your heart; I shouldn’t have asked so much.” Jing Xiaolu apologized. After all, no matter what Xiao Xiaobin’s purpose was to tell her the truth of the matter, it was hard enough for him to speak about this painful thing again.
“It’s nothing …” Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly. “This matter, I will definitely not let it be over just like that, and our cooperation will not stop because of Liu Jifei causing trouble. I will report the truth to the group and ask the chairman to allow us to re-sign the contract.”
“Thank you then.” Jing Xiaolu was naturally grateful that Xu Xiaobin was willing to deal with it. Although she knew the truth now, she was still troubled by not having the evidence. Even if she wanted to sue him, she couldn’t win the lawsuit.
“Vice President Jing, if there is nothing, I’ll go back first. I need to be alone for a while.” Xu Xiaobin knew that even if the contract were changed back, Jing Xiaolu would definitely not let it go. Liu Jifei had established the hatred. With the Ming Yang Security Company’s strength, never mind revenge on the Jiangyan Group. It was enough to take revenge on Liu Jifei alone. Maybe this was the reason why Xu Xiaobin told Jing Xiaolu about this.
“You should. President Xu, don’t be too sad.” Jing Xiaolu was also very sympathetic to Xu Xiaobin’s experience. This man was also unlucky enough to be cuckolded by Liu Jifei.
Xu Xiaobin took a long breath, stood up, and walked quickly to the door. He left the Huihai Business Club and promptly disappeared from Jing Xiaolu’s sight.
Jing Xiaolu didn’t feel very relaxed after she got the rea.s.surance from Xu Xiaobin that he would be handling the matter. Xu Xiaobin and Liu Jifei, whoever was more credible in the group, would determine the final result of this matter.
After repeating Xu Xiaobin’s words to Bao Sanli and w.a.n.g Hongcha, they were astounded for a long time after listening. Bao Sanli slapped the table.”This Liu Jifei is really a lowlife. I believe if Brother Yang were here, he wouldn’t let him go easily.”
“The Liu Family is standing behind him. Even if we are angry, how can we get him?” Jing Xiaolu couldn’t help it. How could she ever think that Liu Jifei would have such a strong background? If she knew this, she wouldn’t have provoked him in the first place.
“Yeah, Xiaolu, since Xu Xiaobin promised to deal with it in the middle, we can only wait for his result at the moment.” Bao Sanli said, “If he succeeds in dealing with it, we will take a note of what Liu Jifei had done for the time being. We will get back our face in the future. But if he fails, we have to leave the matter to Brother Yang.”
“Let me think about it…” Jing Xiaolu didn’t want to tell Yang Ming about these things. If Yang Ming knew about it, he would look down on her and think she was incapable. But since things had reached a point that was beyond their control, and they had no good solution, they could only trouble Yang Ming.
Bao Sanli also understood Jing Xiaolu’s feelings. When he heard Jing Xiaolu say this, he could only say, “Well then, Xiaolu, you see if there is a way. If there is really no other way, we will contact Brother Yang.”
Bao Sanli couldn’t help it. He didn’t want to offend any side, so he just dragged it out for the time being. After all, this company was also owned by Yang Ming; it would also belong to Jing Xiaolu sooner or later, so he chose to stay silent.
Jing Xiaolu, aren’t you very smart? Jing Xiaolu was annoyed that she was useless now, being fooled around by others, but she couldn’t fight back. It was simply embarra.s.sing!
I’m always the one who bullies others. Now that others bullied me, I can only sit and wait. This feeling is truly uncomfortable. Jing Xiaolu got angry at herself for a while, but then she slowly calmed down.
If I think from a different perspective as Liu Jifei, will I reveal any flaws after doing so?
